Early Payment Option

If you have decided to enter the CWB Price Pooling System, you also have the choice to enter into the Early Payment Option (EPO). By paying the Early Payment Discount, you are allowed to increase your initial payment by 80%, 90%, or 100% of the current Pool Return Outlook (PRO) upon delivery (depending upon availability).

The Early Payment Option provides you with:

Improved Cash Flow – You will receive your Early Payment Value amount upon delivery instead of having to wait for interim and final payments later in the crop year Peace of Mind – By entering into the Early Payment Option, you will be guaranteed the Early Payment Value as a floor price, and still be able to participate in any upside market potential
